Airsoft Gun Magazines
Airsoft guns shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are normally stored in the weapon’s mag. These mags typically connect to the airsoft gun very similarly to the real weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft weapon mags include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Airsoft Weapon Mag Types
Airsoft gun mags come in several types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, imitate the amount of airsoft BBs a genuine weapon would store, which is generally about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, allow for more airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs.
How Airsoft Mags Work
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage areas. The BBs are generally pushed into these channels with a spring connected to the extremely far end. When the BBs are packed, they compress the spring producing tension. On the load end, a little latch holds the BBs in the magazine. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun releases the lock for a split second and loads another BB into the gun out of the mag. GBB, HPA, and CO2 weapons, which use high pressure air or green gas, will often store the gas or feed air in through the magazine. This feeds BBs into the guns for these types of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Mags
Airsoft rifle mags are most typically used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. Learn about how airsoft guns shoot BBs. The mags are particular to the type of AEG rifle and all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. The AEG mags are inserted into the weapon’s magazine well.
Did You Know?
Some airsoft AEG guns and squad machine guns use high-cap drum magazines. They can carry up to 1000s of BBs and provide massive amounts of suppressive fire for a squad or fireteam during fights.
Airsoft SMG Magazines Details
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are also separated by gun design and usable in between various submachine guns. Hecker and Koch H&K MP5 AEG mags are made to operate in various MP5s like the MP5K or MP5SD. P90, KRISS Vector, and TMP AEG magazines are constructed in a similar way. These SMG magazines also can be found in real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity versions with BB storage capacities varying from around 24 airsoft BBs with real capacity mags to over 200 BBs with high capacity magazines. Rifle Mags for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (including GBB versions) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) frequently have their own customized design depending on the airsoft weapon brand. These magazines use air and gas to work so the mags often come with builtin gas tanks or are pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The mags used in GBB guns house gas in the mag so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB. HPA pre-tapped mags use HPA lines which are attached to the valves and allow the pressurized air to stream in through the mag. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA weapon.
About Airsoft Pistol Mags
When compared to the AEG magazines used in rifles and SMGs, Airsoft handgun mags are often less flexible. Handguns mags differ by type and frequently use CO2 or green gas (propane) kept in the mag. The magazine is placed into the handgun’s grip like the basic gun style. Handgun mags are frequently interchangeable in between comparable models of the very same airsoft gun maker, however are frequently not cross-brand suitable unless they are specifically created for that purpose. Learning about the various styles and types of airsoft pistols can give you a better understanding of how their pistol mags work. A lot of airsoft handgun magazines store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
